Ok mate so let’s say you call me a few nasty names, “bike nonce” or “Fred West” for example, on here and as a result I suffer mental health difficulties and I’m too fragile to go to work and I lose my job, you’d be agreeable if the police came and arrested you and you were subsequently criminalised?
Possibly a more relevant question to Stone Rose would be to ask him if he would supply details of his daughter so somebody could do posts abusing her in various ways. Would he just dismiss that as banter?How about instead I have your real name , share pictures of you to millions , warn people to stay away from you because you are a nonce and you are then inundated and targeted with abuse and death threats from thousands of others ? You won’t mind as it’s just hurty words’
Back inside hopefullyBarton is a gobshite who can’t help himself. He’ll be back at it soon enough.
As far as I'm aware from reporting, Barton wasn't convicted for the actual bike nonce comment.
The idea he was convicted for hurty words is just nonsense as he was found not guilty on many of his posts.
He was convicted for other posts which were inciting people to harass.
Which is more than just hurty words.
We obviously think very differentlyThey may well do. But that’s on them.
Nothing more needs to be said ;-)Should do time for just being a ****
I find it difficult to grasp what ethical/moral code somebody lives by if they think it is acceptable to impose pictures of Fred and Rosemary West onto the heads of 2 female football reporters and consider that banter. How do you arrive at such a thought process?We obviously think very differently

If he’d only posted that, I doubt he’d have got charged.I find it difficult to grasp what ethical/moral code somebody lives by if they think it is acceptable to impose pictures of Fred and Rosemary West onto the heads of 2 female football reporters and consider that banter.

That’s not answering the question mate. And is there evidence that anyone was inundated with thousands of death threats?How about instead I have your real name , where your work,share pictures of you to millions , warn people to stay away from you because you are a nonce and you are then inundated and targeted with abuse and death threats from thousands of others ?

Indeed.We obviously think very differently
I’m not saying it’s “acceptable”. Of course it isn’t, it’s fucking ridiculous, as is Barton in general.I find it difficult to grasp what ethical/moral code somebody lives by if they think it is acceptable to impose pictures of Fred and Rosemary West onto the heads of 2 female football reporters and consider that banter.

if you believe it's not acceptable what should be done to deter/stop it?I’m not saying it’s “acceptable”. Of course it isn’t, it’s fucking ridiculous, as is Barton in general.
My original point was I don’t think it that kind of thing should be a criminal offence and it’s certainly not commensurate with being deprived of your liberty in prison, as could have been the case.
